The email reads as if parts of it were dictated, and subsequent parts of it were taken from realtime notes, i.e. a third party is noting, episodic, everything Gates did during that attempt to install MoveMaker .. and then it was refactored

Indeed, that is exactly what it has become for the Oric-1/Atmos, in the LOCI project .. which gives the Oric access to USB peripherals, including storage, and getting such things under control are the first step in making retro- comput

The purpose is to be able to run a decent Linux setup while also having MacOS for things. Not everyone is stuck on the anti-Apple train; some of us put software on all the platforms and thus using the hypervisor for this use case is quite

We Oric-1/Atmos users have been enjoying the heck out of wiring up an RP2040 to our systems .. it makes an excellent peripheral controller .. adds USB mice, keyboard, mice, etc. to 40 year old systems. Just wanna say, adding the RP2040

I was there the night GRL got a rig working, f&m piling gear onto the bicycle cart, and trundling it around Vienna, looking for apt spots to beam things. It appealed to my seedbombing instincts immensely, of course, and is such an obvi

I have indeed built my own desk, my own shelving system, my own kitchen layout. You'd be surprised how easy it is to use a rotary or jig saw once you actually use one. Of course, one would not have to be so antiseptic about, you know,

I thank you for the gracious compliment, that my writing style reminds of you of the technological marvel of modern machine learning, but I assure you the brogue and tempo were refined long before we had the bits at scale required to match

Very true. When the Praterallee starts getting dusty, I’ll start worrying harder, though .. meanwhile, it’s an absolutely delightful environment.

A state with a diversity of environments. Southern California, dry and dusty. Northern California, green and vibrant.

The October flood of crows and other migratory birds down the Danube, past Vienna, is pretty awesome though, to be fair. Like a river of birds in the sky each day, and it is an inspiring sight indeed.

A couch is something I've shared with my loved ones, old and new, watching TV, chatting together, crying together, having real memories over time. A dinner table, same factor: life is punctuated by the scratches and tears that accrue.

In fact I regularly do that with the tables and chairs which were built in a local factory here in Vienna in 1918, and they are rock solid.

Yes, good clarification, I personally spend my times at Grillplatz 11 on the Neue Donau side of Donau Insel (Danube Island) .. it has been a wonderful summer and the water is delightful. Very safe and rewarding swim, every time.

While helping friends move, as one does, I often challenge them to disassemble and reassemble their IKEA gear and still have it tight on the other side, so to speak, of the particle board .. Some do it with grace, some of us with a bit of d

>IKEA had done more to evolve the public taste than any other manufacturer. I have lived and worked around a fair chunk of the western world, establishing my local headquarters each time, building myself a home. Long, long ago, I gave up

Wow, that's kind of incredible. I've always been able to walk out into parts of it for quite a distance in prior visits over the years but I'm guessing this new average is an extreme.

I have been living in the area for 26 years or so, and while its not unusual to have dryness in summer, it is visibly more intense lately .. The cities will have to refactor themselves to avoid becoming ovens.

I’ve had it explained to me that it evaporates in the heat and gets deposited in the mountains and the atmosphere above the more northern states, where .. once things cool down, it condenses and moves through tributaries in a big rush or tw

Well, million euro’s is currently about 1,158,300.00 United States Dollars, so maybe the copy editor looked at the number and didn’t want to offend the sensibilities of their readers .. anyway, the point is, I don’t think this (parentheses)

Sure, it gets dry in summer, it’s not always so lush - at least in my experience over the years. But, parks of dead grass, and dust devils blowing in the corners? Can’t say I’ve seen that much over the decades of visiting the region. In f

I can’t imagine what the Netherlands would look like if desertification would occur. It seems implausible that those flat, flat lands would ever turn brown and grey and dusty - but I won’t be surprised if things turn that way in a few year

Just took a train ride from Vienna to Budapest for a few days, and couldn’t help but notice how very, very dry everything is .. as an Australian living in Europe for a few decades now, I’ve always been intrigued by just how green everything
